Quote of the Day

All decision-making starts with a domain and context.

With domain and context, we can understand our environment and the well-defined objectives needed to assess our decision-making process. We need to address the natural uncertainty of our project work. We can not decide in the absence of alternatives.

We can only address reducible and irreducible uncertainties by understanding the probabilistic outcomes created by the underlying statistical processes. Assessing the resulting outcomes against our goals is the basis of all probabilistic estimating and forecasting activities of any credible decision-making processes.?

It?is the probabilistic and statistical information that informs our decisions. Ignoring this means driving in the dark with our headlights off.

Glen Alleman: I find it refreshing to see something from someone who really understands the importance of having clear contexts for communication. I find that, in many, if not most, posts on LinkedIn, context is either insufficient or altogether absent. Perhaps the most common example is someone's responding to someone else's comment without stating to whom their response is directed. There is a natural human tendency of most people to assume that others will automatically understand the context that relates to their observations and posts. I find this very frustrating. People who want to communicate effectively really should include appropriate context within their remarks.

Excellent, reference to Rosseau’s stag hunt? Domain and the context of the relations?
